A graduate of UWA, Dr Overmeire has practiced occupational medicine for 20 years and brings wide-ranging experience from both the UK and Australia.

He has worked in a variety of industries and professions with diverse occupational health requirements, including mining, manufacturing, transport, fire and emergency services, government services, retail, health and aged care.  He worked in-house at the Metropolitan Police Service in London, where he achieved a significant reduction in absenteeism by introducing a collaborative injury management system.  He worked in-house at New South Wales Fire Brigades and currently consults as occupational physician to DFES.

Dr Overmeire is a Fellow of the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM), member of the AFOEM WA Committee and elected representative on AFOEM Federal Council.   He is a trainee supervisor and regularly involved in Faculty training activities.   An avid proponent of the Health Benefits of Good Work, he delivered a keynote address on this topic at the 2015 WorkCover WA Injury Management Conference.
